[@damiengreene-ayala6338]

Checked this hardware out. It's flawless with the iPad, but because of limited DJ development for iOs, there are few apps compatible with the DDJ-200. Those which are, require subscriptions for full features, like pre-cuing.

[@scottwoodford1624]

Thanks, that's just the kind of review I like. Looks a great bit of kit.....I'm having one!! Haha. What speakers would you recommend, again on a budget as I'm just a newbie! Thanks again.

[@MrDjlightz]

With the audio splitter are the speakers playing the same as what you hear in the headphones? TIA

[@CosmoLoom]

brilliant video .

[@alexlaceyphotography]

Hi there, can you use laptop speakers as an audio output? And then use headphones out of the laptop aux jack?

[@Bigboibremmer]

Great vid, just purchased mine as a Christmas present to myself.

[@iProjecter]

How's it going so far?Im trying to decide what controller to buy as my first and this one is on the option list.Do you recommend it?

[@Bigboibremmer]

Yes, received today and love it, however only used on my laptop(PC) as I need the headphone jack for my iPad Pro, also just found out Spotify doesn’t support Djay anymore, I used Rekordbox and sound-cloud which worked great, definitely recommend h to e DDJ-200.

[@iProjecter]

@@Bigboibremmer I thought it came with a headphone jack? no? and also,can you download mp3 files and play them from a dj app on the pc or does it only support soundcloud and such things?

[@Bigboibremmer]

Hey YV, the iPad Pro doesn’t have the traditional headphone port so I ordered the connector for that, the DDJ-200 has a splitter and yes you can download music and use on all platforms for mixing.

[@papabillychannel]

I will buy like that now! 😍

[@StuartSuper79]

There is no music library in iOS 13 as far as I can see so how can you use this with the latest iPads ?

[@jcottom8798]

Hi complete beginner here. When I plug both my speaker and headphones in using the splitter, the music from deck 1 is playing out but I can’t hear anything from deck 2 through the headphones. I press the cue button on the controller and still nothing. Is this an issue with the split cable?

[@TheEarthangel3631]

I have an Android phone, not an IPhone.. is that ok? Will it work? And a laptop as well?

[@strangerthings1639]

Can’t decide if I should buy the pioneer or Hercules dj control 200 first time dj What would you suggest?

[@GetintheMix]

The Pioneer DJ is a nicer looking unit and is a great introduction package to get used to their equipment. The main downside on this unit is that it lacks a "gain/trim" control, this can be very handy for matching the levels of your tracks if one is a bit louder or quieter without having to be fiddly with the faders. If you decide this is important for you then the Hercules is the way to go. However, most music these days is equally loud so most of the time not having the gain/trim will not cause a problem.

[@rij2392]

Im a music producer wanting to start djing , this should be a great start but apart from streaming can you still put your original mixes down ?

[@GetintheMix]

Yes. You can play any music you have put in the onboard storage in your phone.

[@flyman23100]

I’m having a hard time loading my music to the app (WeDJ)

[@patchleeh5036]

Haven’t touched a set of decks in 20 years, if I was to buy this how could I record sets? Does the app directly record and is that recording able to upload share? Or would I need another bit of kit?

[@GetintheMix]

You can record your mixes directly in the app. There is a record button at the top to the left of the WeDJ logo! You can then upload this directly to Mixcloud or Soundcloud directly from the app.

[@yostinpoveda2083]

This vs Hercules 300? I am afraid this will not work with my Android phone well.

[@OldAgeTeddyboy]

Looking for some advice, for me i want to start a hobby, and have been thinking about doing a recorded 2 hour radio type show twice a week, will this be any good for what i want, im not wanting to take it up full time, just something to keep me busy a couple of days a week, also would need a mic to introduce the songs etc and use it with a PC, any advice would be good..

[@GetintheMix]

Unfortunately the DDJ-200 does not have a mic input. For that you'll need to take a step up to the DDJ-400 which has a mic input on the back of the unit. For your purpose, this would be a better solution overall as you will be pairing it with a PC and don't need the tiny portability advantages that the 200 has. www.getinthemix.com/dj-equipment/dj-controllers/pioneer-dj-ddj-400-dj-controller.htm

how did you hook-up the line in on the front of the 2i4. I have a 2i2 2nd gen I wanna run the unbalanced stereo output on my dj2go into the 2i2 and the balanced line outputs on the back to my monitors. coz when I run unbalanced direct to monitors I get high pitched hissing

[@joaomiragaia173]

Can we , with this DDJ200 , make advenced transition? Or just simple transitions?

[@GetintheMix]

You have the essentials, it's down to EQ, filtering and the faders for transitions on the DDJ-200.

We're not sure on the source of the canvas but you can find similar, if not the same one, by searching around for "colourful 3d cube canvas"!

Doesn't it come with Rekordbox access.

[@ThisDJ808]

You wanna start djing, just get the 400! I do like the fader effects on this though and the variety of stuff you can do with the pads and phone interface.

[@GetintheMix]

Some people might not have a decent laptop or suitable computer for the DDJ-400 though, but almost everyone has a Tablet or Smartphone. ;)

[@ThisDJ808]

@@GetintheMix I didn't and I bought a suitable PC from cash converters for £30 and run it through the TV on my wall perfectly ;) and I started with the 400, I run a 1000 thru it now but I really could do with an upgrade as I have so much music stored on it it takes 10 minutes to start up now.

[@Wuppie62]

@@GetintheMix The 400 should work with an iPad and Algoriddim Djay (payed version). Also, in the beginning of this video you talked about few controllers that work with iPads/Tablets. FYI: the Reloop Mixtour, Reloop Beatpad 2 and Reloop Mixon 4 are controllers specificly designed to work with Algoriddim Djay and iOS devices (next MacOS and Windows pc/laptop).

Nope, no buttons on the unit for these features.

[@reekid6296]

It’s 150$ chill out

[@ewthmatth]

At least it has 3-band EQ. Seems like 98% of budget/mini controllers have only 2-band EQ (i.e. Just bass and treble knobs. No "mid" knob)

[@GetintheMix]

Very true, it is always a shame when they do that - hopefully, that's something that's phased out.

Incredible ! The DJ Industry keeps producing smaller, compact coontrollers for a low price. Maybe in the future there will be another company like in the mobile industry "Huawei", which produces DJ Controllers with many functions under 100 bucks.

@@dinot2048 Hello, does the headphone splitter/usb cable fit into your Samsung tablet? The video looks like it would only fit an iPhone/iPad. Thanks!

[@dinot2048]

@@Simolio Hi! The headphone/speaker splitter cord works fine and fits into my Samsung Galaxy Tablet with no problem. It goes in like a regular headphone jack. I tested it for sound with only my Sony headphones and off brand earbuds (I don't have speakers yet). Of course the Sony headphones sound better. But you actually don't need to plug the splitter into your device(tablet/phone) from my experience. I hear the music just fine without using the splitter when I use the ddj 200. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more information ^^

[@kyleswafford2872]

I was with you til 3:20 when you said (doesn't work for Android) I just take a iPhone and plug this into headphone jack. So no Android or modern iPhone... ???

[@GetintheMix]

This does work for both iPhone and Android. Phones that do not feature a headphones jack come with an adapter that plugs into the charging port, converting it to a 3.5mm headphones jack. You can use the DDJ-200 with these phones using this adapter.

[@kyleswafford2872]

@@GetintheMix I currently have a SB3, what does the 200 have that the SB3 doesn't?

[@GetintheMix]

​@@kyleswafford2872 Not much beyond the fact that you can use it with your phone. The DDJ-200 isn't meant to take on the SB3, it's meant to open up a new market of ultra-mobile controllers for people that want to give mixing a go without spending too much, or those that want to have something small that they can use to mix anywhere.
